Welcome! This blog gives a summary of each marathon with finish time/place, course info, conditions, and links to performance data and travel photos. There are also separate pages listing marathons in different countries/continents, states, and Canadian provinces as well as general info about my running background, frequently asked questions, and advice for anyone looking to start running or exercising more. This blog is linked on my Facebook page, but I'm very rarely on social media otherwise.

Marathon #172 (sub-four state #46, second round state #42): Rogue Marathon, Medford, OR
3:47 finish, 71/176 place overall. Fairly scenic rural marathon in the mountains of southwestern Oregon, about four hours south of Portland near the California border. It starts in a remote park near Ashland and runs along country roads and bike paths to the finish in downtown Medford. The course has an overall elevation drop which, combined with ideal cool weather, helped me get a decent sub-four finish as needed for the state.
